Labor Day

Yesterday for Labor Day we decided to take a quick day trip somewhere that would be fun and inexpensive. We picked Georgetown, a small tourist destination about an hour from our house. We had been there a couple years ago with Reed's parents, and so we packed a picnic lunch and headed out for the day. The drive there was fantastic. Georgetown is in the mountains, and this time of year is just beautiful. The weather was cool, but not cold, and it was the perfect day for walking.


We stopped first at the town park for our picnic. They have an amazing playground there. Patrick is finally starting to enjoy slides, so we played on that for about 20 minutes. Because he is walking more, he really enjoyed the whole process of the slide. He liked walking up all the steps with me and sitting down, counting to three, and sliding down. As soon and daddy caught him, though, he was pointing at me so we could do it again. After the playground we got the stroller out and walked the three or four blocks to Georgetown's historic downtown. Most of the old shops are open with ice cream shops, restaurants, photo galleries, jewelry shops, and boutiques.
After we got a picture of Patrick on the slide, our camera died, so the other three pictures I found online, but it represents Georgetown well.
